TOE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Us Boys Registered United States Patent Office It Isn’t on Skinny This Time By Joe Agler. I'll fiy that GUY N ASHVILLE, Aug 9.—When a Jinx aits down on a ball club like the } one that Is following uh around, there’s no certainty of any thing connected with baseball, and 1 reckon we ought to be thankful that we are permitted to keep on living Carl Thompson is due to pitch for j us to-day. with Chapman catching and If it hadn’t been for the games of yesterday and the day before I’d say i we had a good chance to win. Of ! course, we’re due to-day—but there's not a thing to being due. or even past due, when a Jinx is on you. • • • V\7E thought we had that one-run Jinx all busted yesterday and we should have except for as big a slice of the old luck I ever saw a ball club handed In one game. We got into the last of the ninth with the score 4 to 2 In our favor and Love getting along pretty well, though not up to the mark set In hls first game. Young got a hit over sec ond and hurt hls leg turning first Dtley ran for him and Perry drew a base on balls. Artie Hofman made to attempts to bunt, and then, forced t«. take a swing at It, slashed one straight at Bisland. It looked like a sure dou ble play, hut the ball took a freak hop far over Bisland’s head and Daley scored. Long tried to nip him at th. plate, which let Perry get to third and Hofman to second. Then Gib son hit for Noyes and singled, and it was all over. • • • I5I T T you can take it from me. the boys are fighting this Jinx, and we believe we are bound to bust it soon. i'll CwO home amo Ger waf] N6 ACCOUNT APPLE LUKAr l, U'Pf> SAWN' FOR THE CAT!

I I TK have with us' to-day Frank Yy Whitney The fighting car penter arrived from Chicago yesterday and will be In our midst for several dayv. In the course of a few hours Charley White will be on the scene. The boys mix In a sched uled 10-round bout at the Auditorium- Armory on Wednesday night. If Frank ever looked better than he does at the present time we have never had the pleasure of seeing-him The Cedar Rapids boy is the picture of health and says he never felt better In hls life Whitney is already near the weight he has agreed to make, therefore, he will not have to weaken himself by taking off any needed pounds. • • • rURTHRRMORE, Whitney wishes to inform hi£ many admirers here that on Wednesday night he will be ready for the battle of hls career. To beat White Is a difficult task for any boxer in the world. Whitney knows this and savs he will be in the very hest condition of hls life when he steps into the ring with the Chicago sensation. "A victory over White means that I will be In line with the topnotchers of my division.” chirped Frank yes terday. "This is the chance I have been after for the past two years and. believe me. Charley will be in for the battle of hls life He may beat me. but if he does, it will be only after I have given him the very best that’s in me. And, personally, I think that’s good enough to win.” Frank spent a couple of days in Chicago before coming here. While there Whitney boxed with several of the tough "Windy City” scrappers, and, according to Frank, they cer tainly gave him a good’work-out. « * 4 i*l BOXED two days with Packey * McFarland, and believe me. I was a pretty busy party.” said Frank. "We boxed five rounds on each day and I never had blows showered at me as fast as I did on those occasions. At that. I wanted the experience, as 1 knew Ptckty had boxed with White several times and could give me a few pointers.” "They certainly think a great deal of White out West," continued the fighting carpenter. "They are calling him the greatest fighter in the world Food for Sport Fans QAORGkl tL PMAIR. MERELY A HECTIC DREAM. Within the Hall of Fame I saw a nolle monument. It cost ten thousand dollars if it ever cost a cent. And breathlessly I asked the guide: "Who is yon famous gent?** "That man.” he said, "is Adam Vmph —a man whose noble name Will echo on for count less years and fill the Hall of Fame. He was a st'ribe whin wrote about the well-known baseball game” "And why” I said, "should Adam Vmph attain a statue tall /w writing dope about the gents who j \ lean against th< ball j men like Vy and Charlie Dry are given none at allf” j At writing dope old Charlie Dry can put ftim in the shade, Hut this is why,” he made reply, ,, his fame trill never fade: "He never canned a manager nor ever made a trade.” In ancient days baseball was our na tional game, but that was before we took up the pastime of firing managers. The fabulous sum of $26 is all that Is left out of Luther McCarty's $4,000 purse. This explains why some men would rather manage fighter* than work for a living. Horace Fogel has wished himself on the Federal League, but the said league has been up against it so hard that it is too weak to resist. If it be true that Tom Chivington said "I should worry," we move that he be barred forever from organized baseoall. The rumor that Artie Hofman will be sold to the Yanks leads some one to sus pect that some one has an awful grudge against the said Artie. f OH NO, THEy HITCHED A _ I Team or Hoa.«e.-ftits To A __ ^Balujwj, aajd Dhoye There- \te-s, "yes Thate vhay They Did. c Whitney Arrives for Big Bout •!•••{• +•+ +•+ Frank Looks Fit for Tough Go BOXING News of the Ring Game at his weight and I have already received two offers if I succeed in taking his measure. Kenosha, Wis., has promised me a bout with Leach Cross, while Milwaukee would put me on with Pal Brown.” While here Whitney will train at the Atlanta Athletic Club. Frank ex pects to spend most of his time box ing as he has already done quite a bit of road work. He expects to start work this afternoon. • • • 117 HITE is considered another Packey McFarland in science, speed and cleverness and has some thing that Packey rarely displays, a knock-out kick. In boxing Charlie, an opponent can not take any chances. Once an opening is left, the Chicago hoy is quick to seize an opportunity of sending home his pile-driving blows. Whitney thinks that the only way to beat White is to keep on top of him and never give him a chance to get set. He will probably map out his campaign on these lines. Frank ex pects liis added weight will be of much advantage to him in this line of battling. * • • W HILE most of the fans are dis- vv cussing the White - Whitney battle there are many fans who arc giving much attention to the other 10-round battles. The return en gagement between Kid Young and Charley Lee is arousing much talk. Many believe that Young is still the best local boy at hls weight when in condition. Lee, however, thinks otherwise and says he will prove for once and all time next Wednesday that he is Young’s superior. Both boys are working hard for the go and should put up a corking mill. • • • THE other mill on the program will 1 be a 10-round affair between Ed die Hanlon and Mike Saul. Mike al ready holds one victory over Hanlon and is out to prove he can duplicate the performance. Outsiders, how ever, appear to be stringing with Ed. die. The latter's great showing with Terry Nelson has not been forgotten Eddie fought like a champion the night he defeated Nelson, and If he fights the same way Wednesday, Saul will have hls hands full carrying off the lion’s share of the purse. Tickets are on sale at Shepherd's Segar Store. Edgewood avenue and Pryor street. When Frank Whitney steps into the ring with Charley Wniie at the Audi torium Armory Wednesday night he will not lack for admirers. Frank’s great battles against "Battling" Nelson, Joe Thomas and Jake Abel has made him a popular boy among local fans. • • * Ad Wolgast, ex-lightweight champion of the world, will probably be seen In action on Labor Day. Tom McCarey yesterday secured Ad’s word to meet the winner of the Jack White-Dundee bout on August 12. • • • Terry Nelson still thinks he can han dle his mitts with the best of them. Terry has issued a challenge to the win ner of the Hanlon-Mike Saul bout and says he will let the purse go winner take all if either of these boys will make 135 pounds at 3 o'clock for a night tight. • • • Jimmy Johnson, the New York fight promoter, expects a big crowd to at tend the Jack Britton-Young Shugrue go next month. Both boys have put up sensational battles in the Eastern cities and are big cards with the fans. * • • Joe Rivers will have hls last chance to make good on the coast on Labor Day when lie tackles Leach Cross In a 20-round set-to. If Rivers loses he will be through as a big attraction with the Pacific coasters. * * * Joe Mandot, the French baker boy, intends to start a busy campaign on Labor Day. He has already wired Lou Castro, the local promoter, for a chance at the winner of the Whitney-White bout. Mandot ought'to be a big card here. * • * Everybody is wondering why Knock out Brown is not fighting and whether he is ever going to put on the gloves again. His manage-, Danny Morgan, says he’ll start again as soon as the hot spell is over. In the meanwhile. Brown is taking daily spins In his new auto and also taking frequent dips in the briny. He should worry. • * • Arthur Pelky has refused to meet Jess Willard in a 20-round bout. In stead. he signed to clash with Charlie Miller before Jim Coffroth’s club on August 27. Tom Jones, manager of Willard, claims that Pelky was afraid of hls protege. OTHER RESULTS. Virginia League. Newport News, 1; Norfolk, 0 Petersburg, 4. Portsmouth. 0. Roanoke. 7; Richmond, 0.

Freddie Luther Wins Long Race •j*s*J* Glenn and Lockner in Dead Heat N’ville.. 47 62 .437 New O. .35 67 .343 F REDDIE LUTHER, of Fort Worth, which is in Texas, earned the rating of pop-pop champion of the South over the 25- mile route, riding a runaway style of race at the Motordrome last night. Jock McNeil was second and Harry Glenn third, but Freddie had a good margin on all of them, though it should be explained that Jock suffer ed from engine trouble. That cir cumstance cost him several laps, and he was able to regain all but one and a fraction. Luther maintained an average of 81.3 miles an hour. Engine trouble caused Morty Graves to drop out rather early in tne struggle. Freddie’s victory was especially popular in that it was his first victory on the local speedway. Tex Richards won his customary' event in spite of the fact that his own pet machine was in the hos pital. This time Tex’s victory w'as in the five-mile invitation race, which he negotiated in the fast time of 3:35. An unusual finish was noted in the first heat of the special match race between Harry Glenn and George j Lockner. The pair finished in a tie so tight that the judges could only ! call it a dead heat. The race was 1 one of the best pair events yet seen I on the speedway, each rider taking one of the two remaining heats. The event will be raced off next Tuesday night. Following are the summaries: MOTORDROME PURSE. (One-Mile Heats; 2 Miles, Final.) First Heat—Morty Graves, first; Tex Richards, second. Time, : 44 2-5. Second Heat—Harry Swartz, first; Georges Renel, second. Time, : 43 2-5.* Third Heat—Jock McNeil, first; Henry Lewis, second. Time, :43 2-5.

LIKELY II NIT CHANCE PAYS $17,000 FOR MAISEL, BALTIMORE PLAYER new YORK. Aug. 9.—Nothing daunt ed by his recent experience with Jimmy Callahan in the Chase trade. Frank Chance yesterday added to the list ot high-priced "beauties" when he paid Baltimore $12,000 in cash and Players Daniels and Midkiff, valued at $5 000. for Ed Maisel, the star shortstop of the Orioles. Maisel is to report to Chance here to-day. The high-priced infielder has been much sought by the White Sox. the Boston Braves and other clubs, but the Yankees, striving earnestly to get a winning club, outbid the others. The new man plays third base or shortstop with equal facility. Last season he batted .276 in 159 games, fielded 925 in 138 games at short and .927 in 22 games on the hot corner. SAVAGE AND KUBlAK G0 10 HARD ROUNDS TO A DRAW STOCK DRAWS SUSPENSION; TO BE OUT FOR TEN DAYS MOBILE. ALA., Aug. 9.—Shortstop Stock, of the Mobile club, on account of a suspension of ten days for fighting with Manager Dobbs, of the Montgpm- ery club, at the latter place, will be out ten days, and Paul Sentell will play short for the Gulls. At the game to-day Baerwald and Shanley, of the Memphis club, will be presented with checks for $50 for hitting the Bull signs on their home grounds. Dick Kinsella, of the New York Giants and St. Louis Browns, is here looking over Robertson, the outfielder; Pitcher Cavet and Miller, the new out fielder, secured from Duluth, Minn. AMATEURS TO CLASH. The Wesley and Jonathan teams, in the Baraca League, will play a double- header at Ponce DeLeon Park Saturday afternoon. First game called at 2:30 o’clock. Bv W. W. Naughton. S AN FRANCISCO, CAL., Aug. 9.— Willie Ritchie has let it be known that he had accepted the offer of Vancouver promoters for a match with Freddie Welsh on Sep tember 1, This means that Ritchie has little thought of meeting Tommy Murphy, his "logical opponent,” in the near future, and judging by remarks heard where sports congregate, Ritchie can prepare himself for a renewal of the criticism he was subjected to while he was touring the footlights and re plying vaguely to questions put to him in respect to his ring plans. There is a whisper around already that the Vancouver offer is not gen uine but that Ritchie and Welsh are simply stockholders in a venture which calls for a 20-round bout and the taking of moving pictures. Thosa who are responsible for this rumor say that the “International aspect” of the bout leads all the parties in terested to think that a big clean-up will be made from the "movies.” SENATORS BUY PITCHER. HELENA, MONT., Aug. 9.—Manager Flan nary, of the Helena baseball club, announced yesterday the sale of Pitcher M. Williams to the Washington Amer icans. The price stated was $3,000.
